All She Wants for Her 4th Birthday Is...

...An Aqua Globe. Perhaps you've seen the infomercials? They're little blown glass devices that promise to water your plants PERFECTLY for you FOR TWO WEEKS. No messes! It's that easy!

I had no idea Pipsqueak knew about those, but as evidenced by this video, she has. She asked me why I wasn't buying her one. What I didn't say, but would have loved to, is, "When I can buy a Toddler Globe which consists of a little plastic device I can pop in your ass that will FEED YOU for TWO WEEKS! with NO MESSES! I'll consider it."

Until then, she's getting a princess like the rest of the girls out there. Hey, someone's got to clothe those execs at Disney.

my sons LOVE those things! My 4 year old is a sucker for all things infomercial - we've tried the green bags, the craft-lite cutter, the little vacuum thing... he really wants those globes, too! We have like 2 houseplants...

Tell me where to get such an item and it's hers.Seriously, not being a TV watcher, I've never seen them, but the way she sells it is too much for words. I think once Baldo gets over his hatred of girls, the two of them are gonna be big-time buddies....Enjoy blogher. Bmom went a couple of summers ago and had blast.Aloha,J
